Special thanks to Martijn van der Veur (misspelled in video) for letting me film his watch, and also hinting the DSM LCD calculator.
Also thanks to Nigel from vintagecalculators.com for his helpful response and very informative website.
This is some of the most exceptional educational video I've ever seen. Subbed, and I'm going to share your channel around. You're magnificent and have amazing cinematography.
Thank you!
just stumbled across this video. Super awesome and enjoyable!!
and you scared me for a but when you suddenly spoke Dutch!!? By your accent I thought you where from the Scandinavian area
@@roxthedumbhyena Thought exactly the same!
@@roxthedumbhyena The fact that germanic accents can be so similar sometimes just makes it a good pair
I find your name is stupid, and thats saying a lot
"This unit has passed the test of time well. After all, it's 45 years old"
*proceeds to cut it open
Golden comedic timing.
2 years late but just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this film. You have a wonderful ability to bring all the elements together.
UA-cam algorithm goes brrrr
Same
Algorithm works in mysterious ways
Love that you referred to this as a film!
With his insane production quality and amazing narration, it definitely can be nominated for that title
@@GoTeamScotch ye
Everyone sees the immediate quality of your videos, but things go a layer deeper when they realize... you compose the soundtrack too. Outstanding. Absolutely mind-blowing.
You should clearly have 1000x as many subs as this...
Thank you, sir 🙃
very true
And views
At this rate,
He will, in a few days...

I love to find someone with as much talent as you. The artistry of those colored LCD shots was a shock and I DID watch it for those 4+ minutes. Not only did I find a UA-cam subscription, but a Spotify one as well. Thank you for taking the time.
Jesus, that was four minutes? I was entranced the entire time
I stared at a calculator screen for 4 minutes, but for some reason, I'm not mad about it. the production quality of this was amazing I love your work man!
I've got you beat by like 4 hrs..
No,you’ve wasn’t even’s

I’ve got you beat by like 4 hrs..
This content is criminally underrated. I've been plugging this to my friends to the point where they're annoyed by me. The music is the best part. It reminds me of Mogwai's Atomic for reasons I can't accurately describe.
Thank you!
I feel offended on behalf of those stunning macros you shot that anyone might consider skipping them. Also, you're a great storyteller, you blend educational value with fun and art. Very unique style, glad I found this channel, I'll spread the word. :)
Was saddened at how compression was ruining it when I realized it was playing in 480p. When I switched to 4k, holy crap. Superb video!
holy shit even on 1080p i switched to 4k and the compression is so much worse on 1080, even if you cant see the pixels 4k looks so much better
my eyes are so bad i never noticed. maybe i'll give it a try
5:55
Me: *Vibing the background music
*video cuts to the cutting machine clip
Me: 😴 -> 😫
Oh my goodness it has been 8 months :o
The production value in this video is off the charts, great work!
Seriously impressed by the production values of this informative and educational series. Thoroughly enjoyed finding out about LCDs and how they work!
6:52 I would unironically use this as a wallpaper on my computer. This looked fantastic, thanks for providing this much information in such a lovely made video (or film?)
I was unironically dumbfounded when you said "45 years old..." and you started cutting it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Now, that gets me really interested in the things you do and say ironically.
@@tiltil9442 I would use your comment as a wallpaper
@@Sventra I have to say thank you, unironically!! That is a clever reply and I'm smiling ear to ear typing this.
😄👍
I was thinking the same thing
Thank you for thi excellent video! I've always wondered how the DSM LC displays work and until recently never seen in a video. But this just blew my mind! By the way, there is (or has been) a similar display made in recent years - Sharp Memory LCD, especially the PNLC type. The technology is different but a similar look is achieved - looks like a white (diffused) pixel on mirror background. All that without polarizers!
Cool, thanks for the info :)
Found a video of it: ua-cam.com/video/nQLFWlcsdi4/v-deo.html
@@PosyMusic Hey! As many others, I have found your videos through your latest LCD video, which blew up and allowed you to gain an immense amount of traction. Which made me think I would never be able to get contact with you but I will try to post a comment you will see, so.. thank you - I immediately started binge watching your videos, the frustration of cursors and then this, masterpiece. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this, and some of the shots are simply beautiful. I’m glad you are here to display this sort of technology and document it, otherwise I would have never known about this. I rank you amongst the best, your story telling is amazing, your music works well with what you’re showing. I am hooked!
Greetings from Noord Brabant, And thank you.
Your commentary is very well written and comprehensible, but somehow it manages to make this technology seem even more like some kind of magic.
Stunning video! I could imagine the pulsing effect comes from the LCD being driven with a biased squarewave, basicly flipping the electrical polarity to avoid permanent polarization of the liquid crystal.
There it is, the perfect UA-cam video. Narration, topic, shots, lighting, closeups, story and music. All the work you put into this really paid off, an impressive and exciting watch. Hats off to you good sir, great work!
The UA-cam compression does not do this justice. These are beautiful.
Your music, paired with the visuals at around 6:56 was absolutely hypnotizing, it gave me goosebumps
The best video I have ever seen on UA-cam and that's just the beginning.
The information is the best.
I work on quartz watches.
Never seen anything like your work.
Thank you.
Thank you! :)
This is without a doubt, the most valuable channel I've subscribed for a long while. Such good narration.
Can we also just appreciate how far video compression technologies have come? UA-cam has upped their game so much this would have looked quite noise a few years ago. Thank you so much for sharing.
quite the opposite, 1080p video used to have much higher bitrate. they downgraded massively in 2019, i think. now to get decent quality you HAVE to upload at 4k
Congratulations on a splendidly produced video & soundtrack! Heartening to find others who appreciate this particular display tech cul-de-sac.
Having a - slightly too large - collection of calculators that use COS/DSM displays I was a little distressed to see the EL-808 getting the Dremel treatment - even if it is a fairly common model...
Another COS calculator model, the sharp EL-805 was notable for not only being the first pocket LCD calculator, but also for the extended glass substrate of the LCD being a circuit board on which all the ICs were mounted. This was a kind of chip-on glass-technology decades ahead of its time. Slightly bizarrely it was also manufactured by Elektronika in the USSR as the Б3-04 - presumably under license from Sharp. Please do not Dremel any of these - they are RARE! :)
I see others have noted the sadly short lived Sharp PNLC LCD..- here are a couple more links. Sharp also produced a larger version used on the back of the 6228 cell phone sold only in Japan - it is even rarer than EL805s...

Completely forgot I subscribed to this, very nice surprise. So glad you made more :)
I’m glad your segmented displays video was recommended to me, having a great time watching the backlog - you clearly deserve the exposure :)
Watching these videos bring me pure joy. Please don't stop making them.
There's something so retro-ish about the production. Like one of those educational films you'd see in school. Love it.
Now i want a mirror with a clock
Just discovered this, everything has been said in these comments. Magnificent visuals, sublime music (found you on Apple Music and am very curious to listen to more tracks), plus it shows and explains LCDs in a… ok, enough superlatives. But yeah, so great! Thank you! Oh, and that Segmented Segments album (2022), I also love the picture there with artistic and colourful LCDs. 😀
i thought i was on a LSD trip at times with the music and the visuals. absolutely incredible work!
The cinematography, the visuals, the narration, the voice, the choice of words, the music, with a pinch of comedy.
This the work of an amazing mind. So mesmerizing.
I love how you share knowledge about subjects that literally are around us everyday day since always and finally we don't know much about
I use to say future is now, stop dreaming about flying cars, hoverboards, holograms screens etc..
We're already surrounded by amazing things and thanks you to showing it by the beautiful way you do
Greetings from France ⚓🌞
I’m on a binge. This is god tier content. Just wow.
You’re *so good at this*, and your music 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This gave me some serious 'Secret Life of Machines' vibes, and I love it. What spectacular cinematography and perfectly paired wondrous music, and for a subject I'm deeply fond of: Old electronics.
Thank you so very much for crafting this piece of art, Mr. Posy.
Thank you :)
My man... that was one of the most exceptional videos I've ever seen. Considering the subject matter, that could have easily been botched to hell. But I stayed to the very end. The music, the narration, the whole thing. Really, really good. Thank you so much. That must have taken a lot of effort, but you made it look easy and seamless. Bravo 👍
Super impressed you made an entire album to accompany this video. This entire piece is good vibes.
omfg WHY IS THIS SERIES NO GOING VIRAL YET??????? It's so interesting and so well made!! Thanks!!
Never stop being who you are, Posy. I love what you do so much, its fucking beautiful and inspiring.

UA-cam compression algorithm:
*aahhhAAAHHHH*
The cut to the dremel cut off tool had me ded. Amazing video. You are the new age Bill Nye.
Thanks, I didn't know that the best way to create psychedelic images is to film really close an old calculator.
"You've been staring at a calculator screen for almost 4 minutes now" yeah I know and I want an hour video of this now
Some of the most gorgeous tech pr0n shots on UA-cam. Just incredible.
My DSM watch featured in this awesome film sadly isnt wearable anymore. Display failed. Thank god this amazing video was made.
Oh no 😥 And thank you! ;) Yes filming it can at least 'virtually preserve' a product.
This is one of my all-time favourite videos.... I love the blend of art and education, the quality of the filming, the subject matter and the soundtrack. I could happily watch stuff like this for hours.
I can't believe you exist. This is amazing - in the truest sense of the word.
How this Channel has passed me by !? Insane editing, shots, vulgarisation, etc... Then WTF, you composed youreself this beautiful soundtrack! You're a beast
I think I've just found a new favourite youtube channel. Love this guy's style, editing, music.
idk why i watched 12 minutes about LCD display, but I loved every second of it, the cinematography, the voice, worth it.
Wow, this was some of the best video production I've seen in a long time. Pure art. Glad I decided to get curious about more details on this technology and found this..
Incredible work, beautiful footage
Hope to see your channel explode in viewer count sometime soon!
That voice is so calming and grasping, I almost fell asleep staring at the screen. This is some hight quality stuff right here
I’ll happily wait if the content is this good! You have a real knack for video making/narration 10/10.
I almost cry watching this beauty. You make me see LCDs as some kind of "microscopic organic live art" or something, i am really shocked.
Such amazing camerawork, music, narration, information, etc... I love this channel
I saw a post on Reddit including this video and I've immediately subscribed to this channel. Thanks for this great video, I'll watch the other videos soon.
underrated content, this is on another level, feels great to watch it, and the music is otherwordly, it feels like very specific V sauce if Michael had a microscope he constantly flexed with
I too find fascination and joy in mundanity and the microscopic. Your calm and well-humoured delivery give your vids such an ambiance and draw - why did it take me so long to find you? subbed
oh my god, your video and cinematography is so good, i know you posted this 3 years ago but i just dozed off listening and watching this
Wow man! That was trippy. Right at 6:54 I begun to realise that LCD means "Lucy in the Crystal with Diamonds". Keep up making videos like this. I want more!
Best editing and production of ANY video I've seen on UA-cam. I doff my cap, sir.
Your videos are so mesmerazing! Your voice and accent is like caress for me, and visual aspect is just a pure art! Your channel - what a discovery! 😮
This videos' title should read "DMT LSD (like) you never seen"
Daaamn that's trippy!
the music piece (which you brilliantly composed) around 03:14 is daunting and haunting. it gave me chills (which are multiplying).
your videos are a gold mine. The algorithm blessed me with your segmented display video, hopefully it keeps recommending people your videos.
So rare to find UA-cam channels that actually teach interesting and new topics. Thank you
This is one of my favourite videos! I always come back to this :> thank you posy
I come back every now and then and rewatch this video like one does a favorite movie. It's so unique, informative, and cool!
by far one of the best informative and curiosity videos I've seen in a while, I'm currently binge watching the entire channel. These LCD are awesome, thanks for that man
Sharp actually STILL makes DSM LCDs. Some of the smaller "memory LCDs" from them exhibit this mirror/diffused transition. For example the LS013B4DN04
Astonishing pictures. With the music. Sublime aesthetics. But almost defeated by the limited bandwidth of youtube. The raw footage must be amazing. I'd buy the bluray.
Such a high quality production it's crazy. , I'm so happy I found you channel
Never have I ever been this blown away by, of all things, a calculator.
This is amazing, and I love the music. ❤️
You are the most creative educative artist on UA-cam. That's the algorithm really working.
This is such a fantastic video it should be shown in cinemas. Pity I can only give it one like.
your voice is soooo nice to listen to, and combined with the awesome music and stunning macro visuals, these videos are a treat for the senses. many thanks for making these awesome videos!
this is just amazing. the camerawork. I don't know what else to say.
you have Got a Fan. Im Curious why didn't you were discovered before. so much creative amalgamation in one single educational video. explained without animations, but better than that, with real imagery of technology, in unbelievably amusing techniques of teaching. my kids and my family says thank you
The music adds this kind of dark, myterious, enclosed atmosphere I enjoy in some documentaries, it does add a big source of interest
You are an underrated channel!! Your voice is relaxing, great audio quality, and great informative vids!!
No wonder the quality and voice reminds me of another amazingly informative UA-cam channel. I’m convinced this gentleman is Zefranked
When I heard the Dutch come out it had me rolling. It's so funny how different your narration voice is compared to your normal speaking voice. Amazing video! I've been binging some of your content the past two weeks. It's always been a ride so far.
The music in this was absolutely phenomenal. Great work, and you've definitely earned a subscription from me!
I've been a UA-cam traveler for over a decade and this is, by far, the coolest thing I have ever seen.
Man! I would be content with just your voice and the soundtrack!
You are indeed something special 😎👌🏼a superb presentation.
I just bought my first digital watch and I bought one with an inverted display. So now I am binge watching all your LCD related videos. I guess I am ending it with part 1.
Thank you for good explanation how it works
If it wasnt for the Loud saw noise in the middle, this video would be the Perfect Sleep aid. The voice is so quiet and calming I legit just collapsed while watching 👍
INCREDIBLY amazing production quality. Very very nice!
you sir are an INCREDIBLE musician. i loved the music equally as much as the video!
AMAZING CINEMATOGRAPHY, AMAZING SOUND, AMAZING VOICE, AMAZING EXPLANATION
YOU ARE WAY BETTER THAN ANY OTHER EXPLANATORY UA-cam CHANNEL, RESPECT FOR YOUR AWESOME HARDWORK
I had never known how complex and beautiful LCD displays truly were. After the development of LED and OLED, LCD was seen as "archaic," and hasn't been used on most important displays since. I really wish DSM was used more. Honestly, for something as cool as a transparent clock, I think I'd give the extra money required to keep such a clock running. Amazing video! I love the production quality; this is not something you'll usually see.
I scrolled down hoping to find the music only to discover you made it??? holy shit lol I thought it mightve been boards of canada. Please keep creating you are so talented
You deserve million subs for sure! Thank you for sharing this with us for free!
The music is so beautifully fitting and the content is awesome. Thank You.
I am so grateful I discovered your channel. Your knowledge and ESPECIALLY your musical style fascinate me. Reminds me of múm in their early years. Experimental and beautiful.
I just discovered your channel, and this was the first video I watched. The images you captured here are absolutely incredible. Thank you very much for this.
Your video actually hypnotized me i was so focused on it. Amazing content.
Love it! beautifully presented and a great look into the history of our electronics. You have a great artistic eye and an appreciation for the path we forge.
I looked at desktop calculators that ran on mains power at a trade show in 1970, they had NIXIE tubes and cost over a thousand dollars which was a lot of money then. The annual salary of a factory worker was something like $60 per week.
In those days we used slide rules and log books which was a PITA. I owned a hand held calculator in 1975 (ten digits) which had an electroluminescent display. In my opinion, the worst calculator was the Sharp Elsi-Mate which only displayed 4 digits at a time and alternated with the other digits and cost something like $300.
